Delicious food

"The food came out so fast, the first dish came out 2 mins after we ordered. Their spices are so tasty, it doesn't overpower the food, adds extra flavours to the dishes. Would be great for group gatherings, as you can order more dishes to share, we only had 2 people, 3 dishes was plenty."
